A very thick bottom and thin top cymbal make this a full and tight sounding hi-hat. Boasts a warm, pronounced stick sound along with a full, slightly dirty open sound and dark, crisp "chick" sound. Very responsive feel, very articulate, and versatile.

The first series to be made from the patented Paiste Sound Alloy for transparent, delicate, and sensitive tones with potent expression. The ultimate Paiste sound cymbal, they're perfect for recording and live situations that require precision-tuned instruments.

Was a Ziljian player for years. Had A customs and K s, but once I got my first Paiste I was hooked!!I've had these Hi-Hats for about a year now and I love them...best hats i've ever had. All my cybals are Paiste now!!!

I've used these hats for years now in many different playing situations and I've ALWAYS been able to coax out the sound i need. Whether im in need of a huge resonant sound to keep time in a funeral doom band, or a quick, brash, thrashing sound to compliment my blast beats. I've even played sets with a jazz band using these. The pricetags a little hefty but if you can scrape up the cheddar its well worth it. Can't break em, can't get a bad sound out of em, can't play without em!

I have had these for about 9 years. I have played them very hard, packed and unpacked them, and you can't hurt them. Pretty pricey but, with Paiste you only need to buy them once. In all these years, I still love the sound of these hi hats.

Ive had a set of these for about six months now, and i think they're my favorite part of my kit. i really love these things. they just sound awesome no matter what. they're very articulate and responsive, and while they arent the loudest hats out there, they're certainly loud enough for most situations. like most paiste products, they're pricey. but in my oppinion, they're worth the price.

It has been about three years since I go my set. I am very hard on my cymbals. I literally beat the hell out of them and the best part about them is that they still sound fantastic. Paiste cymbals are the best. If your thinking about getting them .....don't, don't think, just get them!

These are the hats made for me. And I found a 13" pair like new, just used! D*** i had to pick them up, and im so glad i did! It holds a really tight groove but can get really washy and dark when needed. Works great for my style of playing, jazz, junk, and fusionThe only down-side is the price, but paiste known for that, arent they? haha

i play a set of these, theyre my friends and i have to tell you, they are really nice. I didnt prefer the sound at first but i was into zildjians and it just didnt have the sound i was used to, now looking back i prefer the paistes over a, k, and z customs. Nice hight hat, i have a it an 8 in value becuase its expensive for a lot people.

These are awesome! I've been playing for over six years and used Zildjian and Sabian, but never had a pair of hats like this. They are dry and not over powering. The sound is very clean and crisp. The price is a bit trendy, but when you play and hear this hat you will be totaly sold.
